Week #6 - Marching On!

Hello Super Sophomore!

Here is the schedule for the upcoming week.  Grades close this Friday.
Please work hard, be respectful, and demonstrate a genuine work ethic.  You know what is expected, so please make wise choices and decisions.

We will take a brief hiatus with our film "Slamnation".  Most of you are enjoying the exposure to this rebellious art form and the creativity and culture that goes along with it.  Truth or competition?  Please continue to keep an open mind.  We will revisit the film, as well as our own spoken word efforts.  It is never to early to begin brainstorming ideas and even potential groups.

Our current focus is preparing for the Cahsee - Tues 3/13 and Wed. 3/14.

This is the website we will be working with all week.  I will be including a direct link.

Grades are still being inputted this week.  I am working with a lot of literary analysis.  ; )
If you are concerned, please come and speak with me on your own time or at Office Hours/Tutoring on Tues. 3/6. Make up work MUST be done this week.  Some of you never completed some assignments.  Again, please come and speak with me if you are concerned.

Feel free to explore the Cahsee website on your own. The more you make yourself aware of the style and types of questions you will be challenged, with, the better prepared you will be.

Be good.  Work hard.
